Comment (by andraganescu):

 @shaunandrews I think it will be temporary ''in terms of usefulness'' as I
 am looking at explorations such as
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/36667#issuecomment-979327358
 this one] around surfacing site navigation and combining that with
 reusable block management, global styles. It's likely many settings will
 find a home in various panels or via blocks. I wonder for the user of a
 full block theme what is the point in sending them to the settings screen
 to update something which will then be reflected across the site in the
 header and the favicon, and do so saving directly to the live site.

 I also believe there is a very small number of "settings" that won't be
 absorbed by the editor, so the usefulness of having them in a separate
 unpreviewable form will get ever lower.
